I found the wagon wheels to be intriguing also. It is a Norwegian Rosette that is made of a pancake-like batter. She uses a Rosette iron on a handle that has a little well to hold the batter. They are then dunked in hot oil for a few minutes, drained and sugar-cinnamon shake over the top. They are crisp and surprisingly light. We are trying to convince her to join the cooking group. I liked her immediately when she told me she went to a little town in Minnesota to learn how to make Lefse a traditional soft, Norwegian flatbread. Lefse is made out of potato, milk, and flour, and cooked on a griddle. Apparently, people from all over the world order the lefse shipped out especially at Christmas.

All I can say is…OH. MY. GOODNESS. Those look so delicious and so very, very decadent! Now THAT’S what I call a cookie exchange. I’d love to be a part of something like this, but I’m sorry to say my cookies would be sad-looking compared to these beauties. Thanks for making me gain weight just by looking at these! 😀
